Leah Hutchins: The Killer Angels

The Killer Angels, by Michael Shaara, is a novel telling the story of the well-known Battle of Gettysburg. I think that I have always been interested in a country going at war against itself, and since this book is about the turning point of a civil war, I was very interested in the subject matter. I like that Shaara tried to keep the information accurate and precise by using the primary sources found. whilst telling both sides of the story. Also, Shaara goes into great detail making me feel like I'm out there with the Generals in the war.
